Working within the Finance Team, you will process fortnightly payroll, maintain employee records and entitlements, complete reconciliations and reporting, and respond to payroll enquiries from employees and managers. This position will play an important role in ensuring payroll is processed accurately and in accordance with relevant legislation, Modern Awards, Enterprise Agreements, organisational policies and procedures.
Key Responsibilities
- Processing end-to-end payroll on a fortnightly basis, including employee entitlements, leave, deductions, allowances, overtime and salary packaging.
